I donīt know whatīs been said in social media except from this forum and I fully agree that unpropriate net hate is not acceptable.
However there are obviously people in the Umea surrounding who donīt want the rally unless they get a lot of money.
It shouldnīt be that way, but understandable the organizer wonīt make statements in plain language. In Sweden we are so afraid getting on the wrong side of context...
Organizers application for Rally Sweden granted by the County Administrative Booard, yesterday.
Move the rally back to Värmland where it has traditions and belongs.. The stages are also much better.. And be prepared too drive it after the conditions like it was before, and like the monte is.
You want rally Sweden with no snow?Quote:

Probably they are only awkward to the whole event, and my personal estimation is that they are going nowhere with their behaviour.
The appeal will most probably be rejected.
Just reading about this whole sage between the lines, do you think the Sami villagers will let the rally go ahead without disruption and not be a real nuisance to everyone and cause disruption as they seem determined by their behaviour up to now.Quote:

Going to attend Rally Sweden live for first time since 2019. Few questions: is there rule about no bags allowed to umeå sprint/red barn arena/service still in place?
Has there usually been any extra/classic cars on display in service park or red barn?
Is there route now finalised? Such short time to event and somehow the whole situation seems kinda concerning.
Is there gonna be any rally magazine or spectatorguide??
Yes, I canīt imagine they would try to disrupt the rally once it has started.Quote:

Tuukka Kauppinen has shown very impressive speed in Arctic Rally so on. Even Lappi is behind him after 4 stages. Awesome Kid. Interesting to see how fast he will be in Sweden.
Is it that bad? Kalle absolutely nowhere near the front..Quote:

No because Rally2 also have Hankook in Rally Sweden.
There must be something else going on.
Lol.., mysterious wrc drivers know and tell friends exact 0.xx numbers how much faster or slower new tyres are :D
They are testing, not competing with local guys..
did Rovanpiera got Pirelli on ss7 and ss8? Arctic Lapland Rally...
No, hes driving with Dmacks.
3/4 Stage wins this morning for Kalle and he now leads overall.
Why he is not using Hankooks?Quote:

Did he loose all studs or?
Its just pure testing. His times were the same way all over the place in December at that rally where he was competing with Fourmaux
Just sportsmenship. Gave away enough time to let the real winner get the victory :)Quote:

I am curious to see where Bertelli ends up this year.
Last year, he beat 4 of the 8 drivers entered for manufacturer points in WRC1. He went faster than Munster, and Rovanpera / Tanak /Katsuta lost to him by going off. So he finished right in the middle of the WRC1 order.
If he stays on the road again this year, I wonder if he can come above halfway.
Well.. Munster was way faster than him on most stages(where he didn't have problems). Bertelli was 6th in wrc2 class..
Top15 overall maybe..
Maybe we can all agree, that those black liveries on Toyotas are way better than Bertelli liveries across his cars. Only his racesuit does seem decent, but the car... Well, it looks like it's wrapped in base colours and even that is made poorly. Maybe he will surprise and have this year even uglier.
